Ive never heard that before but the doctor will let you know if it can be done or not. Just ask the doctor before he-she does them.

As far as I know a piercer will do them no matter the size of their ears although where I get my piercings done they don't like to pierce a child who is under the age of three so you may want to check the place out before you go

You might need to bring their shot records with you.

After thinking about it, I decided not to get .Catys pierced.. She can decide that when shes older. Im not about to intentionally put her in pain... I just cant.

thats my veiw on it, doesn't bother me what other parents decide to do it's just not for me, I would like my baby to get their ears pierced if it's a girl but I don't want to make the choice for them the same with me being a vegetarian, someone I met at the doctors thought it was strange that I wasn't going to raise my child as a vegetarian because I don't eat meat.

Lol .Gen!

Sandy, i'll probably do that with my next girl. Make a day out of it, ya know? Take her out for lunch, pierce her ears(myself), and then take her for ice cream. At like 5 or 6 years old.

My first 2 daughters got theirs done at 3 months too.... But they both just had surgery so it did not bother them one bit. So this will be scary for me I just know they will cry

Each child is different when I had my ears pierced for the first time I didn't feel a thing. Do they have quite a fleshy earlobe? If they do then the piercing won't hurt very much at all chances are the noise will just scare them a bit

It's not that bad .Chase. Of course they cry, but it's for no longer than they would a shot.

The whole thing is getting them in even. Once they're(the twins) pissed, they're pissed, ya know? And holding their head still will be a task, physically and emotionally.

Are you going to take them some where or do them yourself?
